for a scent of
| Root | ריח (r-y-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | scent, smell, aroma, odor, breath-like emanation |
| Semantic Range | fragrance, pleasant aroma, odor (pleasant or unpleasant), scent associated with sacrifice or offerings |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in sacrificial contexts as “a pleasing scent,” רֵיחַ conveys the idea of an offering ascending and being received favorably. It evokes the sensory imagery of acceptance before יהוה, symbolizing relational restoration and divine pleasure. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“for/to”) prefixed to a masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive, expressing “scent of …”. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵיחַ is a masculine singular noun in the construct state, here prefixed with לְ (“for/to”). Rendering it as “for a scent of” preserves the singular form and reflects the construct relationship, indicating that it governs a following noun (“scent of …”), while maintaining the root sense of an emitted smell or aroma. |
